About Salesforce and Tableau
Salesforce is the world’s #1 CRM and a trusted partner to governments and enterprises globally. Within Salesforce, Tableau plays a critical role in helping organisations see, understand, and act on their data — turning complexity into clarity and insight into action.
With the evolution of Tableau and Tableau Plus, the platform now brings together AI‑powered analytics, advanced visualisation, and deeper integration across the Salesforce ecosystem. This next chapter of Tableau enables public sector organisations to move beyond reporting to predictive insight, embedded analytics, and collaborative, data‑driven decision‑making at scale.
